🐐 MESSI SETTLES THE SCORE IN ATLANTA! 🩷
Lionel Messi scores twice as Inter Miami win 3-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a third straight victory! Watch the highlights! 📺⚽

Inter Miami travelled to Atlanta for MLS Matchday 31 looking to build on their recent revival. Messi had a free kick saved in the 41st minute, but the Herons broke the deadlock right on half-time when Germán Berterame [45'] headed home a Luis Suárez cross.

Messi took over after the break. Messi [56'] doubled the lead with a low left-footed finish after a one-two with Berterame, and four minutes later Messi [60'] ran onto a threaded pass from Suárez, beat Júnior Alonso one-on-one and slotted into the bottom corner. It was a pointed moment, as Alonso had blocked a late Messi shot and celebrated it in the reverse fixture last month. Atlanta's Fafà Picault [89'] scored a late penalty, but it was only a consolation.

Messi now has 25 league goals and 15 assists this season, and is the first player in MLS history to record at least 15 assists in three straight seasons. Suárez's assist was his 100th goal contribution for Inter Miami.

Final Score: Atlanta United 1-3 Inter Miami CF
Goalscorer (ATL): Fafà Picault (89', pen)
Goalscorers (MIA): Germán Berterame (45'), Lionel Messi (56', 60')

🐐 MESSI MAGIC IN NEW YORK! ✨

A five-goal thriller at Yankee Stadium! 🏟️ Lionel Messi scores his 901st career goal as Inter Miami complete a stunning 3-2 comeback win over NYCFC! Watch the highlights! 📺⚽

Lionel Messi brings his magic to the Big Apple! Watch the full highlights as Javier Mascherano's Inter Miami CF secured a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over New York City FC at Yankee Stadium in the 2026 MLS regular season.

The visitors struck first in just the 4th minute when center-back Gonzalo Luján [4'] pounced on a rebound to score his first career MLS goal. NYCFC responded fiercely, leveling the match in the 17th minute thanks to a brilliant free-kick routine finished perfectly by Nicolás Fernández Mercau [17']. Messi nearly restored Miami's lead before halftime, rattling the post and the crossbar, but the teams went into the break level at 1-1.

The hosts took the lead in the 59th minute when Maxi Moralez threaded a beautiful pass to Agustín Ojeda [59'], who calmly flipped it past Dayne St. Clair. However, the advantage lasted barely two minutes. In the 61st minute, Lionel Messi [61'] stepped up to take a free-kick. His strike took a wicked deflection off Hannes Wolf and found the back of the net, marking his historic 901st career goal and tying the game at 2-2.

The momentum swung completely in Miami's favor, and in the 74th minute, Micael [74'] powered home a towering header from a pinpoint Noah Allen cross to secure the 3-2 win. NYCFC pushed hard for a late equalizer, but a massive stoppage-time save by St. Clair against Aiden O'Neill ensured Inter Miami bounced back from their recent Champions Cup exit to take all three points on the road!

Final Score: New York City FC 2-3 Inter Miami CF
